This isn't a Linux-specific question, but it's still a problem that'll definitely hose any attempts at using X. I suspect that my PS/2 mouse port is broken. Maybe not... but I can't get it to work. My DOS mouse driver program never recognizes a mouse on the port, and Windows doesn't either. Linux complains a little about it too! I tried putting two different mice on the port (to test it), and one of them has two modes of emulation; I tried both. Is there some diagnostic I can use to check the quality of my PS/2 port (which used to work)? If there's some trouble with it, how can I fix it?
